In the paper On the representation of the group GL(n, K) where K is a local field by Gelfand and Kazhdan, it is said that the proofs of the theorems in the paper are published in some other papers. I ...

Jacobson-Morozov theorem for a semisimple algebraic group $G$ (presumably I am working over algebraically closed field) states that: given a unipotent u, there exists a homomorphism $\phi$ from $SL_2$ ...

Let $G$ be a connected, linear, semi-simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $P$ be the maximal parabolic subgroup. We know that the quotient $Z=G/P$ is a ...

The fibred category $\mathcal A$ of algebraic spaces over a scheme $S$ is a stack (over the category of affine schemes with the etale topology). This is proved in Laumon and Moret-Bailly's book (see ...

I am a bit confused regarding the possible constructions/realizations of symplectic groups. Basically I am looking for the following:
A linear algebraic group $\mathbb{G}$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ ...

I am trying to understand the basic results of geometric invariant theory. I want to pull off the band aid and use Mumford, but am a neophyte with respect to scheme theory. Thus, I have been trying to ...

Let $P_i$ denote the $i$-th vertex in the Dynkin diagramm of an algebraic group. It symbolizes a parabolic subgroup of $G$ corresponding to the other vertices, meaning $G/P_i$ is a smooth, projective, ...

Let $G$ be a semi-simple linear algebraic group over the complex numbers, e.g. the special linear group. Can you find an example of a finite sub-group $H$ of $G$ which does not normalize any maximal ...

I'm looking for examples of explicit actions of the infinitesimal group schemes $\alpha_{p^n}$ on schemes (maybe as simple as the affine plane) in characteristic $p$ or mixed characteristic, and their ...

I've been reading "Weakly commensurable arithmetic groups and locally symmetric spaces" (Prasad and Rapinchuk, 2009). I'm having some trouble showing the following fact:
Let $K_v$ be a local field, ...

The set of all binary vectors with 12 components forms a field with 2^12 elements containing 000000000000 and another 65*63 elements. Is it possible to partition these elements into 65 subgroups of 63 ...

Suppose $\mathbf{G}$ is a connected reductive (possibly non-split!) group over a field $F$, $\mathbf{S} \leq \mathbf{G}$ a maximal split subtorus and $\mathbf{Z} \leq \mathbf{G}$ its centralizer. For ...
